Due to the developing COVID-19 situation and in compliance with decisions taken by the authorities, AAPA has decided, with much regret, to postpone the 2020 AAPA Annual Conference that was to be held from May 28 to 29 in Shanghai, China, to theend of September, 2020.

This was not an easy decision to make but public health is our primary concern and we rather take every precautionary measure to limit any risk to participants, staff and those with whom they come into contact.

We recognize and are grateful for all the energy and time all of you invested in sending your abstracts and also that of our local organizing committee which worked hard.

We will continue to monitor the evolution of COVID-19 and notify you with rescheduled datesdepending on the situation by early July.

We apologize for any inconvenience this decision has caused and we thank you for your understanding.
